Cool, I got shot on a 10x8 wet plate tintype today, digital will soon be dead :) On 25 July 2013 13:06, Doug Franklin do...@nutdriver.org wrote: A soldier in Afghanistan has been experimenting with making tin type prints of his colleagues: http://twentytwowords.com/2013/07/24/soldier-in-afghanistan-photographs-comrades-using-civil-war-era-technique-14-pics/ -- Doug Lefty Franklin NutDriver Racing http://NutDriver.org Facebook NutDriver Racing Sponsored by Murphy -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Modern Tin Types
I know you are joking, but the introduction of Jill Enfield's new book (Jill Enfield's Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes: Popular Historical and Contemporary Techniques) makes the point that when photography was introduced and started to become mainstream, painters throught that their craft was dead. It seems silly to us to think of painters getting rid of their painting gear, canvases, and paints just because they now owned a camera (or their neighbor did)... but that's pretty much what has happened when it comes to film, and especially darkroom equipment. One reason that Alternative Processes appeal to me is that regular film work lasting into the future depends upon manufacturers that continue to produce film and photographic papers (something that is going to end at some point and already has for some beloved films and papers). The only alternative (impractical for most of us) is to have a stockpile of film and paper for our lifetimes. Alternative Processes do not rely on such things. You size your own papers with the light-sensitive combination of chemicals and then they develop in other chemicals (or simply react to UV light). Your negatives can be produced on your inkjet printer (from digital images) or produced analog on paper negatives (possibly adding the fun of building your own large format camera). It's a big world with lots of different techniques to explore and hopefully master.

Re: Modern Tin Types
That's very interesting, Doug. Much more so than I expected, actually. I generally have no interest in wet photography, but the resemblance to 1800's images is remarkable and kind of poignant.

Along similar lines, this photographer has made use of recyling metal film cartridges for his tin types: http://www.davidemittadams.com/portfolio/36-exposures/ He also likes to reuse old cans: http://www.davidemittadams.com/portfolio/traces/ There is a modern tintype process that is more suited to beginners than the classic process http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/processes/liquid-emulsion/the-modern-tintype-process On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 9:10 AM, Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com wrote: That's very interesting, Doug.
